The Moon and the weather.

During long storm persons who are
well vcrsed in weather lore arc often
heard to console themselves with the pre-
diction that there will be a change of
weather when the neon changes. Mas
myth and Carpenter characteriZe as a
popular error, in its most absurd form,
this belief that the gradual turning of the
moons face toward aud away from the
sun could, at certain points, upset the ex
listing condition of our atmosphere, gen
crate clouds and pour down rains. In
England tand the same may be said
of much Of America) the weather
changes about every three days,
and there is q change of the moon every
seven days, SO that many condolences
must occur. Those who believe that s'the
moon rules the weather. always credit
such condolences to lunar influence. But
the theory is untenable unless it applies
to every case and unless the same effect is
always produced by the same GAUGE. To
suppose that a change of the moon will
turn dry weather to wet, o. wet to dry,
indiscriininately, is the merest childish
ness, aud contrary to all meteorological
records.-Popular Science Monthly.

Surgical Hospitals in the r,ountairs

Gen. Thomas Kane's idea Of putting ND
q surgical hospital among tne crisp
mountain breezes of Elk comfy, Penn
sylvania, so that. in capital cases. both the
surgeon and the patient could repair for
the operation to a Tracing atmosphere,
was certainly far sighted. 1t would al.
ways be much wiser, we believe, even at
the added cost which great surgeons
tune entails, to have surgical operations
IN the summer season performed outside
OF he depressing influences that any large
city is subject to. 1t would not have
taken much more than q few degrees more
OF oppressive heat and humidity during
the recent heated fortnight to have ex-
hausted q number of persons in their
usual state of health who have managed
to keep alive anu attend to their business.
A very slight addition to the depressing
circumstances on the nerve centers might
have been fatal to hundreds who have
felt themselves brought alarmingly uear
20 the danger point of bodily endurance.
1t may be well to keep the Kane idea in
mind for that mountain air surgery, and,
whenever practicable, to let the surgeon
advise an operation to be done in an at
